I wanted to boot a diskless FreeBSD, so I read the section Diskless operation in the handbook. You can read in section 6. "Unpack the root filesystem in the directory the client will use for its root filesystem" To unpack something I have to have a *tar file. Where can I find it? Can FreeBSD or Linux be a bootp server for a diskless FreeBSD? Thanks in advance for your help, Bogusz
